Before & After School Care for Kindergarten to Grade 7

About KIDO

A caring place to explore, create and lead

KIDO Education Centre was created with a simple goal: to provide school-age children with a welcoming place to learn, play, create and connect outside regular school hours.

Our story

Building a thoughtful program community

KIDO is growing from a simple idea: children deserve a welcoming place before and after school where they can feel known, make choices and enjoy time with others.

Our plans bring together learning support, creativity, movement, friendship and clear family communication. As the program develops, current schedules and service details will be shared directly with families.

Our philosophy

Children grow through meaningful choice

We believe school-age children benefit from a balance of dependable routines and genuine opportunities to choose how they participate.

Some children are ready to move and socialize after school; others need a quieter transition. KIDO's approach is intended to make room for both while supporting curiosity, cooperation, confidence and belonging.

Our Mission

To inspire children to explore, create, and lead with confidence every day.
